Jump for joy. I’m on the cover of Prysm Magazine! The magazine’s logo is “Where Darkness Meets Decadence,” so it’s quite an honor.

The Summer 2012 issue is called Prysm Loves Japan, and has two covers — one with yours truly, and one with Jrock band Dir en Grey. (Remember Rose’s controversial review of their Seattle concert?)

This issue also features Visual Kei bands Blood and Gothika, and Tokidoki creator Simone Legno. Intrigued? Pick up a digital or print copy of Prysm, with La Carmina on the cover. You can also see previews on their Facebook page.

We took these fun photos last December in Vancouver, Canada. Jack attack!

The white aristocrat shirt and skintight latex pants (!!) were provided by Deadly Couture in Vancouver. They’re the best boutique in town for Goth, fetish and alternative wear. (Remember my store tour of Deadly?)

I printed out all the contest submissions and stuck them on a canvas, which will hang on my wall. Thank you again for your work! You can following along my Spooky Europe travels here.

Thanks also to Eye For Sunglasses, who sent me a selection of fun shades. I did a quick DIY project with these cat-eye frames — glittered them up with nail polish and gem stickers.

PS: my friends Shien Lee and Zoetica Ebb launched a Kickstarter for The Secret Guide to Alternative Beijing. Part documentary, part travel guide, their aim is to document the amazing cultural renaissance taking place right now in Beijing. Be part of it and lend them support here.

I leave you with recent “lacarmina” Instagram photos of my Scottish Fold maoo.

How do you like my cover photoshoot for Prysm Magazine? Have you done any DIY projects lately?

That’s amazing! I’m really honoured. Also I might just have to do that myself.

As a new follower to your blog, I am amazed (and a little jealous) at your career! Its obvious that you’re as talented as you are beautiful (can i lay it on any thicker? hahaa, i mean it though!) You’ve definitely got a new reader who will be here every day, soaking in the knowledge you’re releasing to us. I’ve been trying to get into the japanese and goth/alternative fashion for ages now and your blog definitely helps!! xoxo -Carol
